Backstreet Boys: Into The Millennium - Homecoming: Live in Germany

On October 4, 2026, the Backstreet Boys will bring their show Into The Millennium – Homecoming to the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf. Since 1993 the quintet — AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell — has stood for pop and dance-pop with R&B inflections, driven by tightly woven harmonies and choreographed moves. Their breakthrough came first in Europe with their 1996 debut, followed by Backstreet’s Back (1997), Millennium (1999) and Black & Blue (2000), albums that established catchy choruses and a strongly choral production, also shaped by collaboration with the Scandinavian pop school.

After a break and Kevin Richardson’s temporary hiatus, the band regrouped, embraced a more mature pop tone with In a World Like This (2013) and most recently released DNA (2019). Live, the five remain focused on vocal and performative synchronicity: multi-part ballads alternate with uptempo tracks, call-and-response moments meet precise gestures. Homecoming bundles these phases into an arena format that gives as much room to late‑’90s songs as to newer material — a condensed band history brought to the stage in Düsseldorf.
